Bangladesh women’s team has been asked to bat first by their India counterparts in their fourth match in the ongoing Women’s Asia Cup at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
Bangladesh, fresh of their dominant 88-run victory over Malaysia, have made one change in their playing XI, dropping opener Shamima Sultana and bringing in middle-order batter Lata Mondal.
